A win as black in 9 moves (11 if you count the moves to the starting position).
Perhaps not so bad for black after all!
Game 2401934 😀

Originally posted by cmsMasterWe all know that I am jesting and that I don't advocate 3. d4 as a serious move for white and nor do I advocate 3. Ne2 but I have won after playing both. 3. d4 by mistake when I first played the KGA and 3. Ne2 deliberately just to prove I could do it.

On balance 3.d4 is the worst possible reply.
I do however advocate 3. ... d5 for black after 3. Nf3! or 2. ... d5 in preference to eXf.

Originally posted by XanthosNZWe all know that against opposition of your standard 3. d4, 3. Ne2 or 3. g4 will all be punished with almost certain defeat.
What about 3. g4 Qh4+ 4. Ke2 d5! looking at Bxg4 ?
The reality is they are all bad but the the Kings Gambit tournament people are playing d4 and Ne2. I am not sure if anyone has played g4!

Originally posted by cmsMasterExplanation might help. Basically, after black plays Qh4+ white's got a LOT of catching up to do...g3 fxg3 Nxg3 Bd6 and black's gaining a strong adv. In fact, there may even be a forced mate...I'm going to look it up. Nope.
Ne2 is worse than d4.

Originally posted by cmsMasterCome on, no forced mate. I played 2 games playing Ne2 and won them both.

I think d4 is worse! Just my opinion as both are dreadful but
1. e4 ... e5
2. f4 ... f6
is even worse. Especially after
3. fXe .. fXe
which I have seen black play a number of times (not in this tournament obviously)

Originally posted by Dragon FireIf you can find a single game in any DB that uses 3.Ne2(not including your own games, of course) I'll consider changing my mind. I can find over 70 that use 3.d4.
